Bonne expérience de la Tesla Model 3 en version Propulsion (à indiquer dans l'annonce), voiture saine (kilométrage à indiquer dans l'annonce : Turo devrait le demander systématiquement pour que les utilisateurs puissent se rendre compte de la jeunesse ou vétusté du véhicule).
Alex a été très généreux de son temps pour m’expliquer les rudiments de conduire une Tesla.
The Tesla Y was comfy, fun to drive & the autopilot, what a nice invention 😎 Thanks for sharing this car here !

Do I need my own insurance?
Do I need my own insurance?
No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo.
In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland. When booking a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of coverage that’s right for you. With each plan, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company — $750,000 for the Premier plan.*
When booking a car in Canada, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — and with each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance purchased from Economical Insurance Company in Alberta, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec, and Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) in British Columbia — up to $2,000,000 for all plans.**
When renting a car in the United Kingdom, you’ll also choose between the Premier, Standard, and Minimum protection plans. Each plan includes different limits of financial responsibility for physical damage. Protection plans are not insurance; they are an agreement between Turo and guests about financial responsibility if there is damage to the host’s vehicle during a trip.
Distinct from protection plans, all trips come with third-party auto liability insurance from ERS (Syndicate 218 at Lloyd’s) managed by IQUW Syndicate Management Limited, arranged via Turo’s broker Lockton Companies LLP. IQUW and Lockton are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?
There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip (primary driver) can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add authorized drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US and Canada can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress with no extra charges.
To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

How easy is it to charge an electric vehicle?
How easy is it to charge an electric vehicle?
Major markets and cities in North America are continually improving charging station infrastructure, which makes it easy to charge an EV along main highways and in bigger cities. Most L2 chargers, often available in public parking areas, can charge to full in about eight hours, while DC fast chargers, located along highways, can charge to near full in half an hour. Charge cost varies by charging type and location, but can be between $2–15 per hour or $0.12–$1.10 per kW. For drivers who are concerned about range anxiety and charge time, Tesla Models 3, S, X, and Y all offer some of the longest ranges, and access to the network of Tesla Superchargers, which make charging more reliable and quicker than your average electric vehicle.
Are electric vehicles more sustainable?
Are electric vehicles more sustainable?
Most official studies conclude that in the long term, driving an EV is more sustainable than a traditional gas-powered car because it has zero tailpipe emissions and releases fewer greenhouse gasses. Especially as many countries turn to cleaner energy sources to power their electric grids, EVs will become even more sustainable. Battery production is resource-intensive, but EVs require less maintenance and last longer than gas-powered vehicles, and as battery recycling processes improve, fewer new materials will be required to produce them.
Additionally, Turo offsets 100% of its estimated global carbon emissions by investing in greenhouse gas-reducing projects. To achieve carbon-neutral travel across the marketplace, Turo purchases carbon offsets by investing in high-quality, verified emission reduction projects through a partnership with leading carbon offset developer Bluesource. These projects help combat climate change and balance out our carbon footprint through responsible forestry and improving efficiency in commercial trucking.
